He is 5-7yrs old, and isn't the normal neglect or abandon story. He had a wonderful home with a very loving dad. But, his dad was older and went into a nursing home roughly 3 mo ago, thinking he would be out to get back with Saint, he had someone coming to let him out 2x a day. But, once he realized he wasn't coming home he reached out to rescues to help with taking in Saint. So, in the last 3 mo, other then being let out a cpl times a day.. Has lived on his own in the house. But, it hasn't affected him. He is a absolute gem! I adore him! He gets along well with the other dogs here. He is housetrained and doesn't need a crate! He is a big boy at roughly 80-85lbs!

Congrats! Maybe you could somehow leave a msg for the man who owned him and see if he'd still like to have the dog visit sometimes.. Being he's older and the dog was well maintained even after he left I'm sure he thinks of him daily. Just a thought.
